    I have stage III software, TB and airbox. I got them all at once. I was pretty disappointed when I got the car back because I couldn't tell any difference. I had the car dyno'd and it only put out 191hp

    If I had to do it again. I would of saved the 2k+ I spent on it for FI

    The airbox is just as quiet as the stock one. So if your looking for intake sound the Dinan ain't it.
    It uses the stock base and replaces the top cover with a much bigger one. There is a snorkel that goes into the drivers side air duct for cold air.

    This is a Pro-Dinan thread

    My Indy has the exhaust and airbox on his 330xi. It is slightly louder and the car breathes better. The airbox should be complimented with the software for optimum performance. Since the box is sealed it keeps the warm air from the engine bay out allowing for "colder" air

    It doesn't have to be pro-Dinan... for example, this M62TU manifold is actually just a late M60 manifold with the BMW logo and part numbers ground off

    http://dinancars.com/product/d760-54...ries&mid=1079/

    I picked up the exact same part for $100



    I actually have the even better early M60 version with velocity stacks that I need to install still

    What I mean is that I would like this thread to be more about the benefits of some of their products rather than a bunch of negative reviews. I know not everyone is satisfied with any given product from any given company but is nice to read the positive comments rather than....

    Dentists, chiropractors, gynecologists, and the like, all have Dinan upgrades on their BMWs, because they can. Your wallet helps pay for it.

    Aftermarket intakes of any kind, except in RARE cases where in concert with some other meaningful mods, are the worst bang for the buck in this history of motoring.

    True but they do help the engine breath better. Minor gains yes but you gain airflow even if it's a small amount. Plus they look cool!

    My main gripe with Dinan is the cost/benefit of their modifications. Equal quality or better can be had in the same price range. You are mainly paying for the Dinan name

    I'm sure it's been debated elsewhere, but what's the dyno say??
